Story
Meet JoJo! At just 10 weeks old and already over 20lbs, JoJo is a sweet and spunky shepherd (mix?) who’s growing fast in both size and personality. She’s a smart, confident girl who loves to play, learn, and show off for her people. JoJo is crate trained and sleeps through the night, though she’ll let you know she’d prefer to squeeze in a little more playtime first. She’s incredibly food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training a lot of fun. She already knows how to sit, is learning to lay down, and does well on a leash for such a young pup. This bright girl is going to be a big dog, and she’ll thrive with a family who’s committed to continuing her training and helping her grow into the best version of herself. With structure, consistency, and plenty of love, JoJo is going to be an amazing companion. Affectionate, playful, and full of potential, JoJo is ready to find a home where she can keep learning, growing, and impressing her humans every day.

Story
[DogName] is posted as a courtesy to SOUTHEAST GSD RESCUE -- for more information, please contact SGSR. DO NOT apply through the GSRA website as this dog is not affiliated with GSRA. Meet Sandy! Hi, Im Sandy! Im a 2 to 3-year-old, 62-pound sweetheart looking for my forever family. I was found as a stray, so my past is a mystery, but I must have been raised right because I have great mannersI know how to sit, lie down, and shake! Im house and crate trained, and while I enjoy relaxing in my crate, I also do great when left out while my foster family isnt home. I love daily walks and am fantastic on a leashI dont react to other dogs and am more interested in sniffing around and reading my "doggie newspaper." Ill notice other dogs and squirrels, but I just glance at them and keep walking. I have a quirky love for shoes and socks, but dont worryIm not destructive! Ive learned not to chew on them, but I do like to carry them to my crate or outside. Stuffed animals are another favorite of mineI take them outside with me but always keep them intact. My absolute favorite game is "doggie soccer" with a basketballI love chasing and blocking it! I also do zoomies in the backyard and enjoy spending time outside when my foster family is home. Car rides? I love them! But I do get car sick without Dramamine if were driving for more than two hours. I did great at the vet and groomer for my bath and nail trim, so Im easy to handle. I have a sweet temperament and rarely bark in the house or at the doorbell, though I might let out a bark or two from inside the fence. I love visiting Lowes, where the employees always give me treats! I adore kids and get excited when the two teenage boys in my foster home come home. Other kids, as young as four, visit me at the fence for pets, and some even come inside to playI love it all! At night, I usually sleep on a dog bed upstairs, but lately, Ive been choosing the bean bag in the bonus room where I can look out the doors and see whats going on. Im a polite eater and take treats gently. I dont rummage through the trash, so the trash can is safe even when no one is home. My Ideal Forever Home: Id love a family with kids, a fenced backyard, and an active lifestyle filled with walks, outdoor play, and belly rubs. If that sounds like your family, Id love to meet you! Please do not apply for Sandy through GSRA. Apply directly with SGSR Please visit our website www.gsdrescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
[DogName] is a COURTESY LISTING available for private adoption -- for more information, please contact the owner listed below. DO NOT apply through the GSRA website as this dog and owner are not affiliated with GSRA. Female German Shepherd, likely 1-2 years old, was abandoned and we have been taking care of her. We have had her checked by the vet and she is now up to date on shots and worming. She is eager to please, but has not had much training. We are working with her to on recall. Shes young with a lot of energy but does well on a leash. She does have a high prey drive. She is a beautiful dog with lots of potential but she will need someone who can dedicate time to train her and a fenced area to keep her safe. She has been started with crate training and she has done well with our other dogs (Miniature Poodle and Labrador). She responds well to our daughter that rescued her and our 8 year old son. She definitely has a guard dog quality and barks at strangers who enter our property. She would make a loyal companion and lifelong friend! Please contact us to meet Hazel or ask any questions.
